Which Types of Waste Require Industrial Waste Collection
Which Types of Waste Require Industrial Waste Collection
If you run an industrial business, you will know that a considerable amount of waste is created which needs to be dealt with effectively and efficiently. Inadequate industrial waste collection services can lead to a reduction in space, a reduction in productivity, an increase in risk and potential breaches in regulation compliance. If you require industrial waste collection or hazardous waste collection services for your business, we’ve created a guide to which types of material are suitable for collection.
Which Materials Are Suitable For Industrial Waste Collection
In essence, an industrial waste collection should be scheduled for any waste which results from an industrial process. As a result of this wide categorical umbrella, some industrial waste may be categorised as hazardous and others may not. Depending on the type of work your industrial business carries out, your industrial waste could cover everything from toxic chemicals to paper. Whatever the waste you need to be collected, you must do so responsibly. Once collected, the different types of waste will be disposed of depending on best-practice. The disposal process for chemicals will be very different from the process of scrap metal or paper. You will require industrial waste collection services if your factory, warehouse or manufacturing facility creates any of the following waste:
● Chemical waste
● Solid waste
● Paper
● By-products of industrial processes
● Radioactive waste
● Waste fuel
● Metal
● Batteries
● Oil or lubricants
● Machinery, such as generators
● Lab waste
● Oil drums
The Laws Around Industrial Waste Collection
All hazardous and/or industrial waste must be disposed of responsibly. In fact, it’s a legal requirement that industrial waste collection takes place. If hazardous or industrial waste is simply discarded or dumped, the perpetrator would be in breach of environmental law and open to a criminal charge. You must organise industrial waste collection with a waste service on a daily, weekly or monthly basis depending on your requirements.
